In the forty-ninth year of the Mandate of Heaven, Wang Xin ascended the throne and changed to Yuan Yuanfeng the following year.

[Wang Jing died of the collapse, this is the third emperor in your family, he reigned for forty-nine years, his records in history are so rich, his influence on Zhuxia is extremely far-reaching, he has a pivotal position in your family history and the subsequent history of Zhuxia, and he is also one of the few emperors who has won the title of Emperor of the Ages.

Proceeds are being settled, you have gained a lot of luck, and you have obtained a Celestial Rank item: Siker]

[Heavenly Steps: Legend has it that it is the treasure of the Emperor of Heaven, a grain of soil can be turned into a hill, in ancient times, flooding, Kun stole the Emperor's soil to block the flood, and built an embankment to block the water, nine years did not succeed, and was killed by Shun in Yushan. After the use of the soil, a hill or land can be carved out anywhere, and the land is fertile and abundant. 】

If this treasure is used to reclaim the sea and land, it is definitely an artifact. Moreover, the land formed by the locom, or the mountain peaks, is extremely rich, and it should be a treasure land. It can also be used to turn a barren piece of land into a fertile land.

Although this treasure is not lethal, Zijue also uses it as a strategic artifact. If you can't stay in the Central Plains, you can go to the sea and use this soil to create a piece of land. Of course, Zijue felt that with him, the Wang family would never be able to get to this point.

Of course, if we wait until the technology of ship construction and navigation progress and the time when the big cadres seize important areas in the world, we can completely place this piece of land in a strategic location.

For example, creating an island on a golden waterway and directly holding the waterway is blocked.

Wang Xin ascended the throne and named his crown princess Zhao as the queen. Because Wang Jing lived a long life, he reigned for forty-nine years, and when Wang Xin ascended the throne, he was already over forty years old.

Its queen Zhao is not from a top noble family, nor is she an official eunuch, but just the daughter of a county. Empress Daqian or the crown princess will not choose the top nobles, but choose from the low-level nobles and even commoners.

Once chosen, the family will also receive a knighthood, but this title is different from the title obtained for combat exploits.

There are no pro-soldiers, and there are only 500 households, usually marquises, but the second generation will become earls, and then decrease in turn, and there are no rights.

If his children and grandchildren are angry, admitted to the palace or joined the army and made military achievements, they can be officials or generals.

The current queen Zhao is a virtuous queen, who was carefully selected by Wang Jing for the prince back then, and has always been in harmony with Wang Xin, and at the same time the harem is also well governed, but this Queen Zhao has a younger brother who is not worried.

Zhao Fu was the son of his father, so he spoiled his young son a little, and as a result, he followed the children of other noble families in the city to become the sons and daughters of chickens and dogs.

In addition, his sister is the queen, so everyone let him, even if he commits some crimes, those officials do not dare to punish him, and as a result, this kid is becoming more and more lawless.

Zhao Fu saw that the government didn't dare to take care of him, so he began to gang up with some fox friends to bully the market. Those merchants who did not have a strong backstage had to sell the goods to him at a low price and then sell them at a high price.

If someone dared not to sell, Zhao Fu directly sent someone to burn his goods, and even took a bite back, and the goods of the owner caught fire, burned down the house, and forced him to pay money.

As a result, he was killed by a mistake, and the merchant's son ran to Luoyang to ring the drum to complain. Because the queen was involved, the officials did not dare to judge, and finally ordered a cargo to catch fire, and died of anger and depression.

In the end, he only paid some money and closed the case in a hurry.

The merchant's son was so angry that he said that he was going to the imperial city to beat the Dengwen drum, but Zhao Fu knew about it and was furious, and hurriedly sent someone to arrest him and break his two legs, and threatened him not to go to the Dengwen drum.

However, the merchant's son did not want to give up, but his legs were broken, and he was unable to travel, so he finally asked his former friend for help, and his friend was a scholar of the Luoyang Academy, and when he heard what happened to him, he was furious and immediately informed his teacher of the matter.

His teacher was a doctor of law in the academy, so he hated this kind of thing. When he saw that the officials were favoritism and lawlessness, he immediately wrote to the king.

The Great Pilgrimage.

The ministers of the imperial court are discussing state affairs, and after so many years of use, the imperial court has also discovered many loopholes in it, and is discussing the addition of the great cadre law.

However, there are still some issues that are still debated, such as whether to abolish torture such as the dismemberment of the body of the five horses and the beheading of the body, and some people even suggest adding the torture of Ling Chi.

Several ministers who abolished these tortures believed that the death penalty was already killing people, and the five horses were divided into corpses and beheaded people were also killed, and more of them were to vent their anger, and at the same time hurt the heavens and peace.

Ministers who are reluctant to abolish these tortures think that if they are abolished, how can they deter Xiaoxiao?

In the end, Wang Xin said: "The Qin State was to suppress the people in the past, if the Great Cadres implemented the strict punishment and strict law, what was the difference in the Qin State?" If the people of the Great Cadres are finally forced to rebel, can it be restrained by severe punishment and strict laws?

The people were forced to rebel, presumably because the monarch was mediocre, the traitorous ministers in the court were rampant, and the officials and officials in various places were tyrannical and extortive, what is the meaning of this harsh punishment and strict law? ”

"The ancestor Hao Tianwen King abolished corporal punishment and replaced it with exile and relocation, I am far inferior to Hao Tianwen King, but I must also abolish car splitting, waist beheading, and Ling Chi torture."

"Your Majesty Shengming!" The ministers saluted.

"Your Majesty, if a traitor commits a heinous crime, how can he be sentenced?" One of the ministers asked with a pause.

"The Lord commits a capital crime, his family is exiled, and he is sent to a lowly status, and if his family participates in it, he will be punished!" Wang Xin said.

As for saying that one person commits a crime and one person is punished, this does not exist in Daqian. Just like those officials, if one person becomes an official, his family can get benefits, if he commits a major crime, will only one official be killed?

When you enjoy it, everyone is together, and when you are punished, only one person has suffered? What do you want to do?

"Include this regulation in the "Great Cadre Law" and explain the reasons for it." Wang Xin said. Wang Xin's inclusion of Zhulian's punishment in the Great Qianlu marked the official endorsement of the Zhulian Nine Clans.

In the past, because Daqian did not like strict punishment and strict laws, the changes implemented by the Qin State were not written into the law book in Daqian.

Before this, Wang Jing exiled a large number of Haoqiang and forcibly relocated them to the Western Regions and other places, which was seriously speaking, illegal. And now with this regulation, the Zhulian Nine Clans have become legal from this day.

After the ministers deliberated, they began to discuss the 'Eight Pi' system of the Zhou Dynasty and whether to retain the Babi system.

The so-called 'Bapi' is actually a privilege given to some high-ranking and powerful people, relatives of the emperor and the country, and people who have made great contributions to the country.

It is a system in which after these people have committed capital crimes, others are not allowed to be tried, and judicial officials have no right to interrogate and have jurisdiction, and the emperor must appeal to the emperor for a ruling, and then the emperor commutes the punishment according to their status and specific circumstances.

To put it bluntly, it is a judicial privilege given to the privileged.

This kind of privilege, not to mention in the current feudal society, is still widespread even in the later generations of the 21st century in the real world.

Not to mention anything else, the most obvious is a presidential amnesty. Whatever the crime convicted by the court, a presidential pardon will be able to solve it when the time comes. Even those countries imposed the death penalty in order to show justice, and then the president came to pardon it.

This perfectly circumvents the judiciary, ensures the fairness of the judiciary, and ensures the privileges of the privileged, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, the people of later generations are not stupid, and there is pressure on the president to sign the amnesty, unless there is a special matter, the president generally does not sign the amnesty.

So these privileged people have changed their way of playing, that is, the jury system. Under the jury system, the judge can only decide whether the suspect is guilty or not, and the jury controls the punishment.

For example, the judge convicted the offender of homicide, and the jury agreed, but there was something else to hide, so the death sentence was commuted to two years' imprisonment.

In general, the law has been played out by them. Even when they find that there is no law for you, they will even convene a council overnight to prepare a law for you.

Even in the civil law, there is a clause: those who have made outstanding contributions, made major inventions and creations, and obtained patents, can be regarded as a manifestation of major meritorious service, and can be commuted according to the actual situation.

However, in the process of implementation, this article is often exploited by others.

There are so many privileges in the laws of later generations in real society, so naturally this privilege also exists in feudal society.

The 'Eight Pi' system is divided into the following eight types, namely: discussing relatives, discussing reasons, discussing talents, discussing ability, discussing merit, discussing nobles, discussing diligence, and discussing guests.

Relatives, that is, relatives of the emperor and the country (including relatives of the empress dowager and empress);

Discussion, that is, the old royal family and the people who have been favored for a long time (to put it bluntly, the people who are favored by the emperor);

Yixian, that is, a person with high moral cultivation and a virtuous name outside (to put it bluntly, he is a celebrity);

Discussion, that is, people with outstanding talents;

Meritorious service, that is, a person of outstanding merit;

Yigui, that is, the three dukes and the nine kings and the people with great merit to the rank of marquis;

Diligence, that is, those who are diligent and toiling (this is very confusing, toil, is there anyone who works harder than the people?) ）；

The guests, that is, the descendants of the monarchs of the previous dynasties were honored as state guests (the three kings of the Zhou Dynasty and the two Ke, and the descendants of Confucius in real history were also among them).

These eight types of people were privileged people given during the Bang Zhou period, and this part was not included in the founding of the country when the Great Qian, and the Legalists at that time had been promoting the fairness of the law, believing that the prince was guilty of the same crime as the common people.

As for saying that everyone is equal before the more radical law, in the era of feudal monarchy centralization, it is simply a false proposition, the emperor has broken the law, do you dare to judge him? The power of the Legalists comes from the king, how can this article be implemented?
